Danger - 2001

Chicago, September 11, 2001 - The daytime is dangerous, not just for us, but for all.  Even when we who can stay awake all day and watch horrified as the humans fire their creations at each other, endangering the great structures we helped them build, we are crippled with ineptitude.

The calls came in quickly from many sources.  The Sears Tower was being evacuated because it was a potential target.  All that we have worked for might be destroyed while we sit and watch.  Our retainers are helpless.  Enemies across the sea have declared war...a war that has nothing to do with us, yet one errant plane and one of us might be destroyed.  The chatter is that it is religious in nature.  A jihad.  Are we really any better than those who would sacrifice themselves simply to make a point?

It is behavior that cannot be reasoned with, and because of that, I fear that our friends in the Circle and the Lance might get ideas to get out of balance.

I do not weep for those who are lost, but I am sad I cannot stand there and hear their stories for myself.  This curse must be lifted.

Yours,

J.C.
